Here are some actual REBGV stats detailing the Saves to Active Ratio and Average Sales Price of condos in East Van. I separated the graphs this month into 1 bedroom condos in East Van vs 2 bedroom condos in East Van vs 3+ bedroom condos in East Van. This will give you an idea of what the different markets are experiencing. Having said that, there is still a vast different in price and other market conditions when this is broken down further into neighbourhood (Mount Pleasant is a lot more competitive than Champlain Heights).
The ideal for most Buyers is to buy something with at least two bedrooms in order to offer some flexibility for the future, but unfortunately, as prices rise, that’s becoming tougher unless you change other aspects of your criteria (i.e. increasing your price, looking in different neighbourhoods or considering an older building).
